Froggy Five Mile & Hard as Hell Half Marathon

Froggy Five Mile & Hard as Hell Half Marathon takes place on July 18, 2027, in Warrensburg, New York. Two formats are offered: a five-miler of 8 km climbing 274 metres, and a half marathon of 21 km climbing 426 metres, in the mountain country of the southern Adirondacks. Start times are not listed in our records.

Four hundred metres of climbing over a half marathon is enough to add ten to fifteen minutes to a road time, and the name of the race is not being modest about it. Prepare with hill repeats rather than with track work, and plan your race in three parts — hold back on the first climbs, work the flat sections, and keep enough control on the descents to run them rather than brake down them.
